The Nation Needs an Executive Bond

A major problem with the US political process is not just the cost of running for the executive office, but the grossly deficient compensation of our nation's first executive. I woke up this morning with this problem on my mind and got to thinking about a special class of treasury bond that could be created. To give it a name, the "Executive" bond could close the Executive's compensation gap and ensure that we have a full field of the most-qualified candidates competing for the job. The Executive bond would also ensure that the Executive's financial interest is tied to the stability of the US dollar and the prudent stewardship of the nation's financial resources.
